Federal NDP's Pact With Satan Implodes
J. F. Conway
--------------------------------------------
No CCF Government will rest content until
it has eradicated capitalism and put into
operation the full programme of socialized
planning which will lead to the establishment
in Canada of the Co-operative Commonwealth.
--- Regina Manifesto, 1933
---------------------------------------------

Dear PAOV,
This is easy and important. We just released a 90-second video showcasing the #StolenHomes campaign, which is working around the world to get Airbnb to stop hawking rentals in illegal settlements.
Illegal Israeli Settlements Explained in 3min...
Airbnb has shown that we’re going to need to really work for this change. And our assessment is our next step is to ramp up the public conversation on their settlement profiteering.
So we made a 90-second video that we can all use to make sure this story gets out.

in Belo Horizonte, Brazil
João Tonucci and André Veloso interviewed by Stefan Kipfer
